Whew. These would look great on my Apple Vision Pro!

 

[awshucks]

I really like the tea gardens screensavers.

 

[darngooddesign]

What does the Tahoe Dynamic Wallpaper/Screensaver look like?

 

[Astuces iOS]

Nice, didn't knew there was Tahoe night... I will use it !!

 

[turbineseaplane]

Nice ... more screen savers is always a great thing in my book.

 

[The_Auryn]

Kind of boring (yawn).

 

[JoeSilver]

Will it be possible to set 2 different wallpapers for the day and night themes?

 

[CalMin]

Himalayas look amazing!

 

[fullauto]

These are beautiful. Video to still image on log-in is such a great effect. Awesome to have some new beach scenes.

Does macOS Tahoe allow you to "Shuffle All"? I'm still on Sonoma and it allows them all to shuffled through continuously.

Nicely done.

 

[Jumpthesnark]

Nice imagery, like usual. Looking forward to them

 

[jz0309]

nice photos, good to see you can set them as wallpaper as I don't use any screen savers on my Mac

Will it be possible to set 2 different wallpapers for the day and night themes?

I was wondering the same thing when I saw the Tahoe by day vs night photos. Don't see such an option in Sequoia but maybe they added it. Would make sense to have a darker wallpaper for dark mode.

Update: I should mention these are dynamic wallpapers that will change throughout the day, not merely still ones. If you set them from the Screen Saver section in System Settings both wallpaper and screen saver will change to this, and will function very much like Apple's aerial screen savers, animating as screen saver, and slowing to a freeze-frame as you unlock to your desktop. If you set them from the Wallpaper section in System Settings they will change only the wallpaper and won't animate, but will dynamically adapt in darkness and brightness for your time of day. What had me confused was that they are used as the still marketing wallpaper image for each macOS release for six years—which to my eyes they shouldn't be as they feel outdated.

How does Apple have the best aerials in the business and the least creative default wallpapers.

I think their reasoning is that such a simple wallpaper makes transparent controls look better. The new liquid glass doesn't work well with 'busy' wallpaper.

That's obviously not the reason because Liquid Glass was just announced.

I only now noticed you added the wallpaper for those other OS versions. The odd thing though is that for me, the default Sequoia Wallpaper was a forest scene. And for the other earlier versions it was some other California scenery. I never even saw the wallpaper you show as default for any of them.

You set a dynamic screensaver that transitions into a wallpaper and it replaced your still wallpaper? It’s one of my favourite features, and one of the best executed basic features macOS has ever introduced. If only Apple’s default still wallpapers were as good.

I didn't actually 'set' anything for my wallpaper for those OS's. They all came default with the scenery. Sequoia came default with the dynamic scenery wallpaper. I never bothered touching any settings for the wallpaper.

I would rather have people working on smashing bugs, than this fluff.

Tahoe night is such a vibe!

If you’ve previously set an Aerial screen saver in macOS Big Sur or later, upgrading to a newer version like Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia, or Tahoe will keep your Mac set to an Aerial screen saver, typically the first one available, and its matching nature-themed wallpaper, preserving your preference over the default abstract wallpaper a clean install might display.

Gotcha. Ok, so who knows, maybe with the very first MacOS I had I did change it. That starts to blur the definition of the 'default' for each OS.
